Ware student has featured picture

“Winter’s Tree” by William Revere

November’s picture of the month titled “Winter’s Tree” was created by William Revere, 9, of Ware Academy. His picture is featured with the art work of 11 other artists from Gloucester County who are illustrating each month in the Gloucester County Art Student Scholarship Calendar for 2013. In this calendar, one also will find the cover and 24 additional pictures of art work done by children in Gloucester schools—public, private and home-schooled.

This calendar is sponsored by the Phoenix Art Group, a non-profit corporation dedicated to encouraging the young artists in Gloucester County through shows and exhibitions as well as an annual art show for all art students in Gloucester County. From this annual show, the group selects art work to illustrate next year’s calendar which are sold to raise money to give scholarship support to a qualified senior from Gloucester County who wishes to continue art studies at the college level.

The 2013 calendars can be purchased for a donation of $15 or more to the Phoenix Art Group and are available at Twice Told Tales Book Store on Main Street, Gloucester Arts on Main, and the Colonial Virginia Bank on Sutton Road.
